1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Recent studies have demonstrated that microRNA-155-5p (miR-155-5p) plays an essential role in the regulation of allergen-induced inflammation and is overexpressed in the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), although the mechanism is unknown. In this study, silencing miR-155-5p attenuated the thickening of the epidermis in AD model and reduced the infiltration of inflammatory cells and the secretion of Th2 cytokines. Protein kinase inhibitor α (PKIα) was identified as a direct target of miR-155-5p and correlated negatively with miR-155-5p in our AD model. Fluorescence in situ hybridization showed that miR-155-5p-expressing cells were predominantly present in the epidermis. When epithelial cells were transfected with an miR-155-5p inhibitor, the expression of PKIα, occludin, and CLDN16 increased and that of TSLP decreased significantly, whereas the overexpression of miR-155-5p resulted in the opposite changes. The increased expression of PKIα and tight junction (TJ) proteins, with reduced TSLP and IL-33, was also detected in miR-155-5p-blocked mice, in both the initial and elicitation stages of AD. The expression of TJ proteins also decreased when cells were transfected with PKIα siRNA. TJ proteins increased and TSLP and IL-33 decreased significantly after the overexpression of PKIα. Our data provide the first evidence that miR-155-5p is critical for the allergic inflammation in a mouse model of AD by directly regulating PKIα and thus epithelial TJ expression. These findings suggest new therapeutic strategies that target miR-155-5p in patients with allergic disorders.
